Step into this Pacific Beach Home, listed at $5,995,000, press a button and part of the roof -- 30 feet above the floor at the house's entryway -- retracts to expose the sky.

The floor-to-ceiling glass doors that face west toward the ocean also fully retract, allowing sounds of the sea to rush into the home located at 3709 Ocean Front Walk.

The Jacuzzi is enclosed on the first floor, just steps from the patio with panoramic views of the ocean. The three-story home is designed to maximize those ocean views. The shower in one of the bedrooms, for example, is separated from the bed by a wall of glass and optional shades.

“The idea is to be able to see the ocean from every square inch of the property thus a see-through shower and bathroom,” said Valerie Zatt, listing agent at Ocean Pacific Properties.

Other perks of the 2,550-square-foot single-family house with four bedrooms and 4.5 baths? It has a $7,000 Toto toilet. The souped-up toilet features hygienic cleansing as well as LED lights that illuminate the interior of the bowl. Music plays as the lid automatically opens to uncover a heated seat. After the flushing, a purifier activates to cleanse the air in the room.

The house, built in 2006, was last sold for $5.3 million in 2007. The home has been listed on and off since 2008. Its highest list price at one point was $6.5 million.

In 2008, the owner began leasing out the Pacific Beach residence. It's currently rented out for $15,000 a month, Zatt said.

The owner of the home, Zatt added, also owns other properties on the beach.
